    Battlefront is a fun game but it gets pretty boring pretty fast. The gameplay itself is fun but it gets repetitive as there are only a few maps and to get anymore you would have to buy their DLCs. The game further disappoints with a very barebones offline experience and a lack of any the main characters in Star Wars.

The game further disappoints with a very barebones offline experience and a lack of any the main characters in Star Wars. In the base game you have only 6 heros/villans to play as, there are more but you have to pay to access those characters. Another massive downside is that the game is limited to only the original trilogy time period, all this does it further exacerbate the repetitiveness of the game. There are also a lack of vehicles that you can play as so this also adds to the boredom. Graphics wise the game still holds up to even todays standards so no complaints there. It's an ok game and worth a play if you can get for cheap.… Expand

    That not it, even with the dlc there is a big lack of hero and map of the prequels. No campaign is also a disappointment.

    This game is not bad but not great either there are limited options in offline mode which is my preferred way of playing games and it feels short or missing content but for a shooter is rather fun to play once in a while.

    В целом игра понравилась. Без сезонного абонемента игра является не совсем полноценной. Также некоторые контракты Джаббы Хатта доступны только в dlc.

    A decent game, with its downsides being: Paid DLC, limited to the original trilogy and clumky flying modes

    The game looks impressive, no doubt. But lackluster content kills the endless replayability that the original contained.

    I wanted to play this game for years. It looks good. Using vehicles is interesting. The game is overly complex with various modes, weapons, and costumes. There is no single player mode to go through a story. The gameplay is strange. The fighting mechanism are rather limited and it is weird to run around collecting icons too.

I never lost interest because of constantly dying - so I became better started to dominate matches and enjoyed the excitement and tension capturing check points gave me.

    On the firsthand, the UI is so hard to navigate through to find what you want. Once you jump through those hoops, the arcade mode is really fun. Me and my friends had fun with it. As to let you know, I'm not a hardcore Battlefront person because I mostly play for multiplayer. So if my review doesn't go with all the bad ones, it's because I don't do campaign and co-op.

    Star Wars Battlefront is a good game (not if you only love single player). The visual are stunning and the controls are ok. The weapon variety is good and the map design accommodates the flow of the match. The starfighter combat may not please some hardcore fans but it accessible and easy to learn and I can not say enough how satisfying is it to kill someone in a dogfight.

One problem for the game is that there is NO CAMPAIGN! This has pissed me off and a lot of other people and the single player missions are fun for 5 minutes and then become chores. But again I can not stress enough how good the Multiplayer is. Overall is does not blow me out of the water and is something close to Battlefield but with a Star Wars skin.… Expand

    5/10 - No sé si habrá sido que no entendí la forma de avanzar en el juego o qué, pero como friki de Star Wars el juego no me atrapó. Gráficamente está muy bien logrado pero la mecánica no logró funcionar conmigo. Ni si quiera me lo pasé, sólo lo empecé.

    Call of Battlefield: Star Wars Edition. This game is nothing like the original series, it took Battlefield, and replaced all the guns with blasters instead. Very mediocre considering it's supposed to be Battlefront. Still worth the purchase if you can find it on sale like I did.

    No microtransactions :-). But nothing like the 2005 battlefront everyone loved. No content. No campaign. Vehicles require a boring uncreative token system. Great graphics and environment textures. Best gun play in the series. Very disapointing. Go play the 2005 or 2017 battlefront.

    Star wars battlefront’s multiplayer is sure to please most Star Wars fans, but the lack of a campaign and ocassional repetitiveness of the multiplayer holds this game back from unlocking its true potential.

    Story: Story? You expect a story for 60 euros? You idiot.
    Gameplay: You press your trigger button. Your weapon fires. The other player dies. It makes sounds. It looks fun. And that's the gameplay in a nutshell. Oh yes, you got special moves now and then that work halve of the time, and otherwise give you an epileptic attack by watching it.
    Multiplayer: Well... that's what it is.... and it's okay halve of the time. Other times it's boring and frustrating.
    Co-op: This is actually the better part of the game, offering races on shooting motorbikes, letting you fight waves of stormtroopers, big ass robots and aircrafts. I enjoyed playing this with my friends.

    If this game had been 30 euros, i would have understand the lack of content. But for 60 euros, and a 50 euro season pass? **** you EA, this is just a scam.

    Overall it's an underwhelming game. I give it a 5/10.    … Expand

    Gioco piacevole per chi è soprattutto amante della saga , buona la grafica , personaggi e ambientazioni fatti molto bene però penalizzato dalla mancanza di una modalità campagna . Gioco che però è stato lanciato come capolavoro che però non è stato gradito da tutti ( vedendo dalla media da quasi nessuno )

The shading, lighting, coloring, and literally everything else graphically is perfection. However as i have stated the game is lacking. Game play wise is okay. The shooting is pretty solid and controlling can feel stiff sometimes but overall is fine. The maps are huge and controlling vehicles is a lot of fun. The air combat is pretty standard but again is fine. Weapons all feel pretty similar and so do the star cards. Hero's are so much fun but the fact you have to pick up a token to play as one is stupid and creates camping in those spawning areas. Progression and unlocks happen far too slow. But the worst part of this game is the lack of content. Almost no single player content except for tutorial missions which is so sad. The missions are all pretty basic so if you want to play offline alone there isn't much for you. There are literally 4 launch maps for the standard edition which is outrageous. There is only a handful of good multiplayer modes as well. The amount of content for the base game is so disappointing and after a while you feel like you experienced everything that can happen and it makes the game feel shallow. A disappointing experience done as beautiful as possible.… Expand

    How is it possible to create a star wars game with no single player at all? Very disappointing and laziness from EA. This game could've been amazing if it had a single player campaign. The graphics and shooting is nice but besides those 2 everything else is a disappointment
    This game is just pure multiplayer and nothing else.

    Overall, quite a disappointment considering the pre-release hype. The biggest drawback was the lack of a story mode, opting instead for a handful of pretty straightforward 'missions'. The online gameplay however is just what you would expect from the team behind the Battlefield series - being both huge & beautiful (if not fairly repetitive).

    EA's Star Wars: Battlefront is NOT a great game but it isn't an abomination either. This game has really great graphics and the gameplay is wonderful. The flight controls however do suck. But this game has no campaign and only two modes for single player, both of which can get really boring in a matter of maybe an hour tops.

    It's not the most complex shooter, but it's the ideal pick-up-and-play experience for Star Wars fans. Stunning environments, solid shooting and immersive sound design mask the shortcomings. [Jan 2016, p.82]

    With the new film of the space opera saga finally on the big screen and the release of Battlefront's new sequel, both after a decade overdue, it is definitely the best time to be a Star Wars fan. The game itself is a dream-come-true for fans, and the Star Wars spectacle is strong in this one. However, if it is depth and longevity you seek... this is not the game you are looking for.

    Spectacular production values help to make this game enjoyable in the early going, but it soon enough shows that it is painfully lacking in terms of maps and depth in its current form. [Issue#265, p.72]
